What did you do to your mk7 today?

[staying_tuned]

2K Clear on Konis before I hit them with ceramic. NE rust struggle is real hah.

How much HP that add?

I’ve eclipsed 700 safely.

I’ve eclipsed 700 safely.

You should have gotten 2 of them and pointed one towards the rear and you could easily hit 800.

MK7.5 R reps. Tbh I liked the MK7 R reps I had but these had built in LEDs. Would’ve been an easy install except I dropped an extension and it managed to fall INSIDE the radiator fan housing (and it took me like 30 minutes just to find where it was to begin). I had to take off the whole bumper and thank god I have slender arms because I was barely able to reach it, had to really jam my arm in there. All told I think it looks better now!

Before:

Halfway

After

Definitely look more crisp. Looks like Megatron without the bumper.

Cleaned my instrument cluster and polished the scratches from it. Here's comparison photo, which is just the thumbnail from my YT video:

What polish did you use?

 

[Desslok]

5mm spacers for the new wheels to get the fitment a little tighter. Added to the collection 5mm,12mm,15mm,20mm,25mm

Jeez dude. You should have got 6mm spacers. There's still a lot of room there.

What polish did you use?

Quixx Headlight Restoration Kit. Looks like he made a video on the subject. I wonder if PlastX will have the same effect.

Thanks for sharing my video and answering the question.

Track day prep! I was never happy with my pedal feel after the PP GTI rear brake install. Re-bled my brakes with the car running FL-FR-RL-RR(per recommendation) and got some air out of the front right inner bleeder. Now the brakes put you through the windshield even at 5mph. Hoping to visit Watkins Glen on Monday and Pitt Race Labor Day weekend!

All about that perfect brake bleed especially with a high pedal engagement

Ever since I swapped out my ABS pump, I've had a soft pedal. What did you do to bleed - just the two-person "pedal down-->open--->close-->pedal up"? Or was there more to it than that?

On my GSW...finally decided to punt on my "lane assist" retrofit as I couldn't get it calibrated with the mounting bracket on the replacement windshield (long story); removed the windshield camera and re-installed the old mirror and its hi-beam assist lens. Figured that simply swapping the coding back to where I had it before I started working on the Lane Assist would get everything working again.

Haha! Not so lucky. Keep getting "disconnected" error, even though I can read some measures off of the camera (like it's angle, radar intensity). Only spent five hours on it today....
